Known as ImPact, the unregistered imPort so-called “hero group” came under fire last night as a crew from an as-of-yet unnamed yacht reported that two of the group’s members boarded the craft and forced them to return to shore. Many of them were shocked to discover that the imPorts that had spent the last week working with charities in the ocean to clean up the waters turned violent with very little provocation.

“We were just minding our own business,” one crew member reports. “I think they thought they weren’t getting enough attention for it, so they had to go and sink our damn boat!”

[the newsreel falls out of focus as the camera gets shifted away from it.]

Mindin’ their own business? Are you fucking kidding me? Wait-- unregistered? Is that-- did they change that?!

[ Apollo, visibly annoyed at both the film crew and the ‘victims’ being interviewed, shakes his head. ]

Don’t waste your breath on the cameras, Archie. They aren’t going to get it --

--No! Fuck that! Those pricks were dumping and we sank their shitty boat because of it! They signed their own checks, except they didn’t, because we saved their asses!

[from… a problem they created, but. archie’s pretty insistent they had it coming, seems like.]

How the hell else are these shitheels going to learn?!

We sank their asses, [ Apollo corrects him, with a warning Look at the camera. ] And if anyone thinks they can get away with this kind of shit, we’ll happily do it again.

What, do I not get invited to the fun anymore?

[He's smiling, so he doesn't (entirely) mean it.]

I see how it is.

You wanna help with finishing the clear up off? If, uh, we're allowed back?

[they won't be. in fact, they'll likely be arrested, but you know.]

[desmodusdraculae]

That's pretty optimistic of you to assume you'll be allowed back.

[solarcharged]

[ look at apollo's good impression of simple, innocent curiosity! ]

Oh. Can bats swim?

[He just sends a link.

Two can play at this game.]

I--

[in the background, apollo yells "he needs more rum to be a pirate!" and archie turns, waving a hand at him.]

--No! I'm tryin' to do somethin' with my life instead of sittin' around throwing a pity party all the time!

[flightforfreedom]

I mean, I'm down with the making them clean up their act, but that might have been a bit much.

Why not just turn it over? I'm sure the coast guard would have been happy to take it.

...I'm going to pretend I didn't see any of this.

Re: permavid

[h2no]

Sayin' it kind of defeats the point. [he tilts his head.] This was outside of your jurisdiction, anyway!

[that's not the problem and he knows it isn't.]

[killtime]

I thought you were a reformed ecoterrorist.

[Oh, so that's what Archie went and did after their conversation. Kylo can't help being amused ...and a little impressed, honestly.]

You'd think they would be more grateful, considering.

Re: text;

Even without a description, I knew it had to be you two.

We stick to our guns.

I'd have told you but - [ A sheepish shrug ] - I didn't want you to try and talk me out of it.

[drivesadesk]

Archie? You okay? Are you going to need me to bail you out of prison?

[h2no]

...Let's keep a pin in that idea, aye?

[rimuru]

Do you really think that's the best way to do things?

[solarcharged]

Yes, actually.

Yuh-huh.

[Hmmmm...]

Wouldn't it be easier to 'catch' them before they left harbor with whatever they were planning on dumping?

What were they dumping anyway?

[h2no]
